George Santer has alwaysloved cars. He got his first car

when he was 20, a 1946 Chevy.

He got rid of it about an hour

after he got it because it wasnt

worth keeping. His next car was

a 1957 Oldsmobile. He got it in

Kansas City while going to

school. He kept that car for a

while. In all George estimates hehas owned around 35 vehicles.

George grew up and went to

school in Osakis. After school he

traveled about, and went to

many colleges around the coun-

try. Hes lived in Browerville for

about 30 years now. He has

three children, Nick, Angie, and

Stephanie. George has done carmaintenance and custom jobs

for people and himself through-

out the years.

One project he is working on

now, is a 1971 Chevy C10. This

has been his project for the last

The total budget of Todd

ounty is just under 27 million

ollars, and there are four pri-

mary funding sources:

Tax revenues property taxes

budgeted in 2010 at just under

12.1 million

Intergovernmental revenues

eimbursements for administra-

on of State and Federalrograms, State Aid Highway

unds and County Program Aids

budgeted in 2010 at just under

10 million

Charges for services fees

harged by the County for servic-

s, mostly charges to health care

rograms such as Medicare,

Medicaid and private insurance

udgeted in 2010 at just under

3.4 million

Miscellaneous and other rev-

nues grants, donations, build-

ng rental fees budgeted in

010 at just under $1.5 million.

Property taxes account for

about 44% of Todd Countys

funding. There are many rev-

enue sources that may go to fund

a specific program area. For the

2010 budget, property tax dol-

lars are allocated as follows:

General government pro-

vides for administration, build-

ing expenses, insurances, man-

dated library expenditures and

technology 15%Public safety provides for

patrol, county jail, probation,

prosecution and mandated

expenses related to public

defender services 24%

Tax administration, land

records and natural resources

provides for property tax admin-

istration, maintenance of land

records and administration of

the countys land use ordinance

10%

Community services pro-

vides for vulnerable adult and

child protection, administration

of state social services programs,

public health services and veter-

ans services 33%

Public works maintenance

and enhancement of the countys

highway system 18%

Each year in September,

County Boards are required by

the State to submit a prelimi-

nary levy to the State for certifi-

cation. The Todd County Board

has been diligent to keep proper-ty taxes to a reasonable level,

and has maintained the levy at a

rate lower than the State aver-

age for the past two years. For

2011, the Todd County Board has

directed staff to prepare a budg-

et which includes no levy

increase. On July 13, a prelimi-

nary budget was presented to

the Board in accordance with

this directive.

Next time How are property

taxes calculated?

Help with Medicareprescription drugcosts is available

Around this time of year, those

who have Medicare Part D pre-

scription drug coverage may see

themselves becoming closer to the

donut hole. The donut hole is the

gap in coverage in which an indi-

vidual will have to pay full price for

prescription drugs until over

$4,000 is paid out-of-pocket. Many

Medicare beneficiaries may have

trouble paying for prescription

drugs in the donut hole, if not

before. Help is available.

Medicare beneficiaries mayapply for Extra Help, also known

as Low Income Subsidy (LIS)

through the Social Security

Administration to receive assis-

tance paying for their Medicare

prescription drug costs. If someone

qualifies for Extra Help they will

pay a lower drug plan premium,

smaller annual deductible and

lower co-insurance and co-pays for

coverage prescription drugs. The

monthly income guidelines

requires individuals to have less

than $1,353.75 monthly income

and couples to have less than

$1,821.25 for a monthly income.

Individuals must also have assetsless than $12,510 and assets for

couples may not exceed $25,010.

There are different levels of Extra

help available depending upon

income and resource limits. Call

the Senior LinkAge Line at 1-

800-333-2433 for assistance with

completing an Extra help applica-

tion or for help understanding the

Medicare prescription drug benefit.

Help is available over the phone or

in-person. Senior LinkAge Line is

a free service of the MN Board on

Aging. Call 1-800-333-2433 for

If the battery for my trolling

motor was a year or two old, it

would have been much easier to

ive it up for lost. Since it was

nly three weeks old, my inner

heap self could not let it go. Ive

een told, especially by my wife

nd sons, that I am so tight I

queak. I prefer to think of it as

eing frugal. Frugality sent me

attery diving Sunday after-

oon.

The day started by going over

o the cabin to clean the up the

ranches and acorns that had

washed onto the lawn. My wife

ecided to mow while I raked,

tacked and burned. The storm

hat flipped my boat and lost my

attery had also made a mess of

he area. Trees along the edge of

he timber had limbs broken off

nd large areas of grass in the

asture was laying flat. It must

ave been a heck of a storm.

When a person is doing a

mindless activity such as mow-

ng or raking up piles of acorns,

gives one plenty of time tohink. I thought about how far

the battery could be from the

dock. Surely not far. How much

damage could soaking in the bot-

tom of the lake do to a battery. It

more than likely would not have

a charge but would probably not

be ruined. When I got done rak-

ing, my wife was still happily

cruising around the lawn. Too

much thinking accompanied by

time to act is not always a goodthing.

I went up on the dock,

stripped down, and dove in. I

might mention, our lake is pri-

vate and well off the road. I

swam to the bottom near the

dock where I thought the battery

would most likely be. Trying to

keep an organized search I cov-

ered the mud and sand, feeling

with my hands. Much to my sur-

prise, after several dives, I found

something that was not my bat-

tery. I surfaced for a breath of air

and returned to retrieve a

trolling motor. Im not sure

whose trolling motor it was, but

I dont remember losing one. Itwas quite nice, at one time, but

several years at the bottom of

the lake had taken off most of its

luster.

I jumped up on the dock to

take a break about the same

time my wife took a turn toward

the dock on her mower. The star-

tled look on her face was price-

less. She looked at me and

whipped around to check out the

driveway, sure that someone

would be pulling in. I was not

nearly as concerned. Even if

someone did drive down the

driveway, how exciting would it

be to see a shiny white old guyon the dock? I went back to my

systematic search. After several

more dives, I found a piece of

pipe that had been part of a pre-

vious dock. I finally gave up, got

dressed, and went to the porch

for a break. My wife finished

about that time and we sat

enjoying the view and the quiet

of the lake.

We had been relaxing only a

few minutes when Damon, Amanda, and Zane pulled up.

Zane played with the dogs on the

freshly mown lawn while the

adults discussed our weekend up

to that point. When I told

Damon about diving for my bat-

tery (leaving out a few details)

he got up, grabbed a tent pole, a

roll of electrical tape, and a fish-

ing net. We headed to the lake

with renewed confidence in find-

ing the battery. I showed him the

area I had searched. He reached

just beyond my final search area

and found something hard and

heavy almost immediately.

Leaving my clothes on this time,

I jumped in and followed his tentpole to the bottom. I grabbed the

battery and tried to swim to the

surface. A person would be sur-

prised how difficult it is to swim

with a fifty pound battery. I was

finally able to bounce off the bot-

tom and push the battery above

the surface where Damon could

grab it.

When I checked it out, I

couldnt believe the findings. The

battery was fine and was even

still charged. There is nothing

wrong with being frugal and

determined. A person might

have to risk a bit of embarrass-

ment at times, but the moneysavings are well worth it.

Todd County WIC promotes a community

supportive of breastfeeding during

Minnesota Breastfeeding Awareness MonthTo the editor:

Recent study shows that recommended level of breastfeeding could save $13 billion per year in U.SAugust is Minnesota Breastfeeding Awareness Month, in conjunction with World Breastfeeding Week

Aug. 1-7. In honor of this observance, the Todd County WIC program and other organizations throughouthe world are working to increase awareness of and support for breastfeeding.

The importance of breastfeeding for both mother and baby has been well established in numeroustudies. One of the latest studies, published in the May 2010 issue of Pediatrics, shows that breastfeed-ing can also significantly reduce health care costs and prevents deaths.

According to the authors of The Burden of Suboptimal Breastfeeding in the United States, If 90 percent of U.S. families could comply with medical recommendations to breastfeed exclusively for sixmonths, the United States would save $13 billion per year and prevent an excess 911 deaths, nearly alof which would be infants.

Unfortunately, women face many barriers that can keep them from breastfeeding to recommended levels. That is why Todd County WIC program is working to spread the word that everybody has a role insupporting breastfeeding. It is important for everyone in the community to support breastfeeding, saidMonica Hansen, Todd County WIC Coordinator. This includes families, friends, employers, child careproviders, the health care system, faith communities and many others.

Breastfeeding Just 10 steps! The Baby-Friendly Way is this years worldwide breastfeeding theme. Iwas chosen to draw attention to the 10 steps that help support breastfeeding in hospitals. These ten stepcan be adapted to clinics, public health agencies, and other settings. The ten steps are:

1. Have a written breastfeeding policy that is routinely communicated to all health care staff.2. Train all health care staff in skills necessary to implement this policy.3. Inform all pregnant women about the benefits and management of breastfeeding.4. Help mothers initiate breastfeeding within a half-hour of birth.5. Show mothers how to breastfeed and how to maintain lactation, even if they should be separated

from their infants.6. Give newborn infants no food or drink other than breast milk unless medically indicated.7. Practice rooming-inallowing mothers and infants to remain together for 24 hours a day.8. Encourage breastfeeding on demand.9. Give no artificial teats or pacifiers (also called dummies or soothers) to breastfeeding infants.10. Foster the establishment of breastfeeding support groups and refer mothers to them on discharg

from the hospital or clinic.There are many simple things, like these ten steps, that we can do to support breastfeeding women

infants and families in our community, said Monica Hansen. If we all work together, we can improve thehealth of our babies and mothers and also save health care costs and lives.

A disenchanted American voterTo the editor:I am a disenchanted American voter. If I did my job like many in Washington or St. Paul do, Id have been out of business 40

ars ago.Over the years we have voted for the right people to run our government and spend our tax money. Like any employee, they

ould come under scrutiny from time to time.So here goes! The people weve elected also appoint other people to run our government, judges, czars, cabinet people, heads

departments and various bureaucratic employees. We, the people, have little control over the appointees actions. Our only con-l of the appointees s through the people we elect, not a very direct way.Quite often the appointees do the dirty work and the elected guy can claim to not be responsible for it. It then appears that werewith our guy, and we re-elect him.But here in Minnesota and America they have spent all the tax money, some of it on the dumbest regulation and projects imag-

able. If we think about it for a minute we can come up with examples of this. But it doesnt stop there. Its gotten so bad that new

xes have to be raised, retirement accounts are devalued, IOUs issued and more inflationary dollars printed.A lot of this wasted money is intended to buy votes for the politicians. If the politicians keep their jobs, the appointees keep theirs.us our money is spent on Pork projects that cost more than they are worth. In the process, our national debt gets raised.The contract of employment for many of our elected officials ends November 2. Do we renew their job or replace them? The old

ogans hes one of us or hell fight for us dont make it anymore. Look where we are, look at where were going. Now ask your-lf, is it time to elect new people to government?It seems to be an easy question.Bob Thompson, Pelican Rapids

For the recordTo the editor:

We have a few concerns with Mr. Winklers article Its weather in the 7/22/10 issue of the

Blade.

When Mr. Winkler came hurrying down our driveway and asked if he could go out on our dock

to talk to those people, he really had no idea what was happening at the end of the dock. When

he reached them he started talking at them. You shouldnt be on the lake in this weather. Youneed to get off the lake, get to your buggy and find shelter. There is a deputy west of the lake that

might give you shelter. He went on to add there are more bad storms coming from the NW, but

were not expected until around midnight. He then looked at me and said he had to get going. there

were some bad looking clouds to the NW. His scolding lasted 3-4 minutes and he was on his way.

Ten minutes prior to his arrival the four Amish men, ranging in age from 15 to 70s were sitting

on our patio under an 8 foot overhang, having refreshments, visiting with my family and watching

the weather.

When the first sign of bad weather started coming over the lake, the four Amish gentlemen

headed for the public access, as did everyone else on the lake. By the time they reached our dock

(rowing) the wind and rain had started, so I invited them up to take shelter. They were here an hour

or so when they tried to take advantage of a break in the storm and head for the access. That was

when Mr. Winkler arrived. After he hurried off we discussed what was said concerning the oncom-

ing storms and decided they would stay at our place awhile longer. About two hours later, after

checking the weather maps and a neighbor with a scanner, Staples was clear. No new storm warn-

ings for 20 minutes. We got their buggy and trailer, hauled their boat up to the road and the four

Amish gentlemen were on their way home.

The Amish do not need safety classes on bad weather and tornados. They have had years ofwhats called on the job training. If Mr. Winkler would have taken a minute to stop and assess the

situation, ask me a couple of questions, this incident would not have happened. We did appreci-

ate the current weatehr info he gave us.
